. Plus, I only need so many of the same size/type knife and I already have an Esee 4. I do fear though that the Esee wont cut it(pun intended) anymore once I try my first Survive!. Yeah, the 4.5 does look like a sweet little slicer/carver and would be plenty tough enough for my uses. I dont baton with knives this size anyway. I have a BK21 and a hatchet for that
With the same handle contouring improvements the 4.7 and 5.1 have had it's gonna be a winner for sure!
Ahh, supposed to be talking 'other knives' in here, though I don't think anyone could blame us.
My humble Fiddleback group with one Osprey mixed in. The Bushboot isn't mine sadly, it should be on its way home with new leather soon.

Its good times. I got mine a while ago and have been "beating" on it since spring. Its a great chopper and batons well too.
I've got a 12, 4.5, 4.7 CruForgeV, and 3.5 ordered plus the 4.7 and 5.1 I already have. The 12 and 3.5 paired or 4.7 by itself are all I could ever realistically need but I'll probably end up going after each one.
Gratuitous other knife pic. Love me some T.M. Hunt. I missed out on a red G10 Tradewater, that would've rounded things out nicely.

Ellie has mentioned that they are looking into options to increase capacity, obviously they don't want to get everyone's hopes up before they get something locked in. I figure I'll do like I did with Beckers and ESEE, buy one each and sell the ones I don't use.
Grogie: I just lifted that CPK-LC jinx on you so no more black cloud to follow you. You better have that wallet of yours all fattened up and ready because you're landing a Light Chopper at its next round. Now if you mess with me on a FK, I will stick a pin in your voodoo doll and you don't wanna know where I'd be sticking that pin
I think after going 0 for 3 on the LC's I'll be perfectly fine with waiting for a preorder list like was being talked about for the FK's. I would've had one today but my PC kept loading pics and moving the screen down when I went to reply, I was control + V'ing right when the reply box moved!Thanks, just a cell phone quicky. Yeah, I like the TKC's way better then the stockers. I still havent tried the micarta's. I heard they were thicker though and I dont have the largest hands so I went with the TKC's. They sure made a difference over the stockers. The stockers would make my fingers sore after a session of chopping maybe because they are so slippery they allow you fingers to smash together? I have the TKC's for my Izula 2 as well and they really took that knife to a whole new level.
I dunno man, another 4.5 may be getting ordered this weekend
I want to see my voodoo doll, it may be an improvement over the real thing.
Izzy 2 with TKC scales was far and away my favorite ESEE until the HM models came out. It's still my favorite small fixed blade.:thumbup: Mike Perrin didn't shoot the idea of a 6 with the same treatment being done right away so there's hope on that.

No one can talk smack about me better than I can[emoji2]Self deprecating, I see
Doll is based on Russell Crow circa when he was Maximus in Gladiator, not this old, fat and balding current model! We cool with that?!
You already have a lot of very nice knives. No more sympathy for you. I hope you come last [emoji14]
